Rho

Its story

Rho Capricorni is a binary system where a yellow-white F subgiant shines alongside an eighth-magnitude companion, separated by at least thirty astronomical units. The main star carries one and a half times the Sun's mass, a surface near 7,000 degrees and around 1.5 billion years of life. At 99 light-years she rests on the back of the Sea Goat, an ancient zodiacal symbol of the winter solstice.
